Well, more news came late yesterday evening from the Dev Team. They’ve posted a video of their work with the iPhone 3G software unlock and announced they are one step closer. Here’s what they had to say:

This ability we now have to spawn background tasks means we are one step closer to the 3G soft unlock. We have a clear path to follow, and “all” that remains is the implementation.

Note how the Dev Team re-emphasized to EVERYONE that you should NOT update to 2.2 if you’re thinking of having an iPhone 3G software unlock. So if this news matters to you, please act accordingly! Any guesses on the exact date of the software unlock? 😉
